Protoncracker Engine

Protoncracker Engine

The PCKR Engine is the core configuration framework and management mod for all my mods. It provides a clean, unified, in-game configuration interface, automatic server-client configuration synchronization in multiplayer, and dynamic resource reloading.

Features

• Options Menu Integration: Access the config dashboard directly by clicking the PCKR Engine button inside the standard Minecraft Options menu.
• Unified Configuration Dashboard: View and change settings for all recognized mods, organized into Server and Client categories.
• Zero Hotkey Conflicts: Removes redundant keybinds so your keyboard layout stays completely clear.
• Multiplayer State Sync & Locking: Master settings are registered and managed server-side. When connecting to a multiplayer server, the server locks in configurations on client screens to prevent drift and mismatches.
• Dynamic Reloading: Reloading configurations dynamically updates block replacement lists and recipe load conditions instantly without needing to restart the game world.

In-Game Options Screen

Open the standard Minecraft Options menu and click the PCKR Engine button next to "Done" to open the dashboard. The dashboard splits mods into:

1. Server Mods: Mods that govern server-side logic (e.g. worldgen replacements, mob behaviors, loot tables).
2. Client Mods: Mods that govern client-side visual preferences (e.g. rendering, scaling, tooltips).
3. Unrecognized Mods: Other loaded Fabric mods in the current environment (displayed in read-only form).

Within the config menu, players can:

• Toggle simple options (ON/OFF buttons).
• Click on "Expand" to open a mod's options, where they can:
  • Adjust numeric values (+/- buttons).
  • Choose list values (selector options).
  • Run on-demand mod tasks.
  • If a mod has more than 10 settings, clicking Configure... opens its own subscreen, which can be heavily customized.

Server Commands

Admin commands are available to server operators (permission level 2+):

• /pckr reload: Loads all configuration files from disk, runs reload listeners for each active mod to sweep chunks/levels, and re-evaluates all dynamic recipes and conditions.
